- Awards on procedures published in the last 24 months: 385 award records on 329 procedures (384 to a single canonical supplier, 1 multi-supplier). 188 values come from the contract record when the award carried none.
- Bid counts, deadline-to-award, amendments and award-vs-estimate come from the nightly buyer analytics row; each figure’s own method and sample is behind its , the long form on Methodology.
- Contract end dates: 286 of 472 published contracts carry a period end; 99 end within 18 months, 25 within 6.
